Awesome work you do, thanks for sharing vids. Apologies for my noob questions: do u think the jimmy skiff can be modified, during build, to a self bailing cockpit? (I want a more novice friendly, more bouyant sailboat of these proportions, same chines, sailplan, hull amenable to rowing or electric motor... an easy singlehander basically with more safety .). Is this a dumb idea? Tx
It really WOULD be pretty easy to make the Jimmy Skiff's cockpit self-bailing. More so than any other boat in our fleet. The cockpit is perfectly rectangular, so adding a cockpit sole high enough to self-bail would be really straightforward.
